Contribute 4 and Flash 8 Make Love

The article on Flashnewz.com entitled “Adobe Includes Drag and Drop Support in New Contribute Release”, written by Jim Lerza. (http://www.flashnewz.com/flashnewz-5- 20061006AdobeIncludesDragandDropFlashSupportinNewContributeRelease.html) The author tells us the use ability of blogging in the future will be greatly improved as will the ability to update sites instantly due to the release of Contribute 4.

I would have to say that this article actually would get some one like me, someone learning Flash and Dreamweaver, to add the Contribute software to my repertoire. The article boasts the ability of Contribute to being capable for multiple users to update a site at the same time with no problems. And support of flash video and my favorite part “code-challenged people”.

He actually explains a lot in this little article, like the ability for instant publishing with Microsoft products. This can be invaluable according to him due to the capabilities of Excel to handle large charts of information. He also goes on to say with a powerful new WSYIWYG editor that supports dragging and dropping many file formats including now the Flash video to the server, people like me should be able to pick it up and use it, as easily as it was for me to switch to a Mac.

And last but not least he states “Support for even more popular blog services has been added, plus support for in-house blogs as well. In addition, Contribute 4 also supports publishing content to multiple servers simultaneously. Contribute is capable of determining and preserving original document formatting.” Which for me is enough to want to shell out the $149 for the added convenience.

All and all the article was very helpful to me and the site is a great reference for any Flash user of Webpublisher.
